In Memoriam - Tom Orlando

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and neighbor, Tom Orlando. Tom was a dedicated coach in our community for basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse and baseball, and he was a caring neighbor and friend.

Tom was a dedicated servant of the community, one of our Bravest, working as a member of the Fire Department of New York.

Most importantly, he was a devoted husband and father.

Our prayers go out to Nancy, Megan and Thomas.

A Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage;
Give me strength to save some life,

Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child

Before it is too late

Or save an older person

From the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert

And hear the weakest shout,

And quickly and efficiently

To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling

And to give the best in me

To guard my every neighbor

And protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,

I am to lose my life,

Please bless with your protecting hand,

My children and my wife.
